Lal Taha Taha by Mantu Chhuria, Aseema Panda

When Mantu Chhuria, Aseema Panda recorded Lal Taha Taha, something special happened in the studio — and listeners have felt it ever since. Behind the melody is the work of Gaurav Anand, whose composition choices give Lal Taha Taha its distinctive texture.

Mantu Chhuria, Aseema Panda inhabits this song completely, making every phrase feel like it was written specifically for this voice. The connection between Babushaan Mohanty, Elina Samantaray and this song is part of what makes it resonate beyond the film itself.

In 2024, Odia produced many songs, but Lal Taha Taha was one of the handful that genuinely cut through. It is the kind of track that works at full volume with friends and equally well in a quiet room alone — the mood adjusts without the song changing.

At 4:27, the track does not overstay its welcome — it says what it needs to say and leaves the listener wanting more. The song continues to find new listeners, which is the surest sign that it was made with something genuine at its core.
